My husband found a kitten that was left by it's mother. A friend of ours has been taking care of it & my husband went ahead & brought it home @ 3 1/2 - 4 weeks old. We are feeding it the kitty formula (hartz) & I started mixing alittle can food w/ it & it drinks from a nursing bottle. The kitten, Cuddles my daughter named it, doesn't poop much, but does pee a couple times a day. Our friend took it to a vet @ 2-3 weeks old & vet said it checked out o.k. Cuddle has no tail & is black & white. Could she be an inbread? She seems alert when awake & walks pretty good. I let it take it's naps on me whenever possible cause I heard it tames them better. Could it have a wild gene in it even though??? I know I have a lot of questions. I hope someone has some answers, Thanks in advance! Jodi......the mommy to Cuddles

If it is only 4 weeks old Cuddles is likely not to poop my kitten didnt start until she was 2 months!Well my kitten is also hand fed and hand fed cats usually turn out sweeter than most because they wont claw or hurt you because you are the one who raised it. If you husband found it its not nessicarily inbred.It could have been attacked when it was a kitten so the mom cat though it was going to die and left it or it might be inbred.If a cat is inbred it really doesnt actuaally have to be crazy!Inbred cats usually are more vicious and deformed or dim witted. I dont think there is anything at all wrong with your kitten it just was bandoned by its mom
